Admin

Everyone’s heard of Ibiza’s giant rave palaces, but the island also caters to the full spectrum of medium and smaller sized venues hosting some top parties too. You have to dig a little deeper, but it can often be well worth while. Some of these venues suffer regular grand openings and swift closures each summer, so pay attention to local advertising before you set off. Others are well loved ’secret’ or alternative locations where you may just have one of the best nights of your holiday. Rave on!

Ibiza Clubs – Privilege

Admin

History: Guinness World Record holder as the largest nightclub in the world, fitting up to 10,000 people, this is another Ibizan venue that grew from a small disco into an epic nightlife village. Known as Ku in the glory days when Freddie Mercury performed to a live global TV audience and Grace Jones danced naked in the rain, the addition of a roof to control noise pollution saw some lean years, but then came the mighty Manumission. Famous for: To one clubbing generation it’s those glittering celebrity parties of the 70s, to another it’ll always be about the inspired mass … Continue reading Ibiza Clubs – Privilege

Ibiza Clubs – Es Paradis

Admin

History: A stunning vision for a nightclub. Whitewashed stonework, roman columns, fountains and lush tropical plants all housed in a giant glass pyramid with retractable roof. Created as an equally hip alternative to Pacha in the 70s until San Antonio became a major package holiday destination and legions of loony ravers pretty much took over. Famous for: The Fiesta Del Aqua, which turns the beautiful sunken dancefloor into a swimming pool, and the end of the night into a giant water fight to music. Vibe: One of the most varied mixtures of different nights on the island, ranging from trance … Continue reading Ibiza Clubs – Es Paradis
